I saw a black lab and a beagle running near the back gate on Little Cove Point Road yesterday, maybe it was her.
My Daisy had the nickname
Houdini-dog because nothing could keep her contained for long, she was always getting loose.
Once she was tied to a 30' rope on one of those spikes that you stick in the ground. I looked out the window and saw her running across the field with the rope and spike following her. I tried to catch her but I couldn't. Then the base dogcatcher called and asked me if I lost my dog. I told them yes and they said they had her. Well right before I left to go pick her up, she's sitting there on my porch. They called me back again after I brought her in and told me she had escaped from the cage and they didn't have her anymore.
I never told them that she came back home.
Then I tried to keep her put by putting her in a harness attached to a run between two trees. She worked her way out of that. When we moved to (off base) quarters that had a 6' privacy fence I thought my worries were finally over, but she found her way out by pawing the gate until the latch unhooked and she'd be gone. Again, she was picked up by the base dogcatcher and again they
lost her. It took her two days to find her way off the base and get back home.
I miss that dog, she was something else.
